“On Andrew Davies, I believe the argument is that his was not an endorsement, as Edwina was not a candidate at that stage.”

That indeed is the technical distinction. But things are moving rapidly today, as a future blog post will show…

No excuses on Mr Morgan, though. Schoolboy error.

Good catch, both. Duly corrected.

On Andrew Davies, I believe the argument is that his was not an endorsement, as Edwina was not a candidate at that stage.

Shurely shome mishtake?
“Mr *Morgan* will tell his party this evening that he already has the support of Environment Minister Jane Davidson. The AM for Pontypridd has become the first Cabinet Minister to back one of the three candidates. Jones also has endorsements from Albert Owen MP, and AMs Lesley Griffiths, Lorraine Barrett and Leighton Andrews, who will act as campaign manager.”

That isnt true, though, is it? Andrew Davies was the first Cabinet Minister to “back one of the three candidates” – Edwina Hart.

And shouldn’t that be “Mr Jones will tell his party”, not “Mr Morgan”?
